Unless you can do TV repair your out of luck on this one! Replace your convergence board or ship it for repair cheapest way.You must remeber to connect board exactly the way it hooks up , convergence board has 2 ics on it STK392-120 these ics go bad all the time and when you press auto they quit working.If you need any more help let me know. ThankYou for using FixYa. Have a Nice Day.

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.
This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....
•Screen looks 3D •Colors don't line up •One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu. •Screen is bowed or warped. •TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

If you replaced the convergence ICs did you check the convergence resistors as well, as often the old ICs will take out a few resistors in the Convergence feed circuits or at least increase their values and that can give those symptoms youre describing after new ICs are instaleed.

You have to try auto convergance from the menu.
There ust be convergance adjustment on menu.You will find cross at center of the screen.green cross is the refrance ,you have to overlap red and blue to form white cross.
once you have formed white cross than the picture will be perfect.

My picture was fine but I had just got cable and wanted to make sure the picture was right. So I hit the auto convergence and now I have a 3 D look. I have never had any problems prior to this. What can I do? and what was is the problem? Thanks

maybe on your remote press menu and find converence and use the keys to move the red first over the green then move the blue over the yellow ..by standing back and just using the remote....should end up with white lines.
and dont hit that button again once set.
a tech should do this quickly and charge you minium.
